Unlocking the QPE Mystery: Star-Disk Collisions in Realistic AGN Disks

Zhaohuan Zhu, Xiaoshan Huang, Yan-Fei Jiang +1

Quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) are luminous, recurring soft X-ray outbursts observed in the nuclei of low-mass galaxies. They display two remarkable trends: outburst durations are…

2D hydrodynamical simulations of Be star decretion disc formation through boundary layer effects

Madeline Overton, Zhaohuan Zhu, Rebecca G. Martin +1

Be stars are massive main-sequence stars rotating close to their breakup rate. They possess a decretion disc of material built up due to mass loss from the star, however, there is…

Resolving Oblique Star-Disk Collisions in Quasi-Periodic Eruptions: Numerical Requirements and the Importance of Geometry

Shunquan Huang, Xiaoshan Huang, Zhaohuan Zhu +1

Star-disk collisions have been proposed as a promising mechanism for producing quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs) in galactic nuclei. Because the stellar atmospheric scale height is o…

Primordial planet spin driven by boundary layer effects in a decretion disc

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +4

Accretion of material from a protoplanetary disc on to a forming giant planet can spin the planet up to close to its breakup rate, , where $M_{…

Formation of Be star decretion discs through boundary layer effects

Rebecca G. Martin, Stephen H. Lubow, David Vallet +3

Be stars are rapidly rotating, with angular frequency around of their Keplerian break up frequency, as a result of significant accretion during the earlier stellar evolut…

Global 3-D Simulations of Magnetospheric Accretion: II. Hot Spots, Equilibrium Torque, Episodic Wind, and Midplane Outflow

Zhaohuan Zhu

Global 3-D magnetohydrodynamical simulations have been conducted to study magnetospheric accretion around stars with various spin rates. For slow rotators, characterized by a fastn…
